I kind of lost touch with the new technology. My older I-pod's hard drive died and I do not intend to fix it.
Please help me chose a device for Audiobooks only. I found older posts about older hardware, but I see a lot of new, cheap, 4-8 GB players around in CVS, Radio Shack, etc. and I have no idea how they would do for my needs.
I am looking for a non Apple device, something that can:
1) bookmark files
2) have a non touch screen interface
3) sleep time
4) under $70-$80
5) reliable
6) decent battery life
7) download protected books from the library (Overdrive)
I have a lot of m4b and m4a files, but I don't think non apple players read them so I guess I have to convert them somehow.
Seen some new Sony devices, Phillips, Polaroid, I wonder how they measure up. Can something be had for this money that is worth having?
